i have to say, this happens every 4 years. for the last 40 years. 
we just have a dozen more tons of ways that news spreads nowadays.
Absolutely, the election years ramp up the rhetoric. I still say the "unbiased" press has either shown themselves for what they always were, or they just moved further out because they dislike Trump so much. There were always biases by omission, showing/framing stories that favor democrats, but now it seems like anything goes.
Not saying Trump doesn't deserve some of it and he does his best to keep antagonizing them too. But when he or his administration does something good it can't be reported because he is so bad nothing that might help him will be done. I think a good example is the middle east agreements. Arab countries wouldn't even acknowledge Israel's right to exist. Now you have multiple Arab countries normalizing relations, opening trade, starting flights, etc. and it is good. I don't think any major news outlet gave any credit and only the barest of coverage. There are complaints about the agreement and not including Palestine, but as a first step I think it is impressive.
All that being said, I don't care what the major news players do with their coverage - it's their show so to speak. Just drop the line about being unbiased, acknowledge what they are supporting, and present the information they want to present. If they believe in it so much why hide it?
